Thanks for all the nice comments.
I decided to post a follow up to show how the design of the glass shelves work. I wanted the shelves to be solid in front with the slot coming from the back. The slot ends with a hole that is bigger than the slot and all of the shoulders are rounded over. This creates a “well” for the stem to sit down in and keeps it from moving in the slot. The glasses are easily removed from the back with a slight tilt as shown in the photo.
After cleaning up my workshop I saw my shop drawings and thought you might like seeing the detailed plan – the scale is basically 2” per square. The second page is my scratch paper with the critical dimensions for the bottles, glasses, and the posts.
Enjoy!

Now I have a better idea of how you get the glasses out, thanks! I usually just do the same with a hole bigger than the slot, but never from the back. I might steal that idea the next time I do one of these.

how did you attach the wine glass rails to the posts? I can’t tell from the image.

I attached the glass rails to the posts using large pins (1/2 inch) for strength. I needed the rails to attach to the face of the posts so there was room to tilt the glasses for removal (as shown in the picture).
I wanted to keep the design light and decided against adding corbels or brackets to support the shelves – the glasses are light so the shelves are plenty sturdy.

So you just picked up some 1/2 inch dowels? I was inspired by your piece, I decided that I will be making one here soon! I drew the modified plans up on Sketch Up. I left the mission style, but kept some of the same components.
If you know how to post sketch up on here, let me know and I’ll share the goods. Thanks!
